What is the name of your state? OHIO
Hello, my 15 year old kid just got caught shoplifting just under 350.00 bucks worth of stuff at a JC Penneys. Needless to say, her father and I are mortified. She has never been in trouble with the police before. I called her cell phone and found out she and her friend were in the store office and the LP guy told me to just go home and he would call me two hours later, that I could sit in the store if I wanted to but couldn't be in the office with her. She has no idea what she signed in there, I didn't even know she was signing anything. My husband went to pick her up when they called and he had to sign a release to take her home. Most of the stuff she got caught with was actually stolen by her friend and stuck in my daughters purse but I guess she is responsible for everything they found on her. The LP guy told my husband that they are pressing charges with the court and we will be responsible for paying a Civil Demand also. I had never heard of that, I did find out what it is by searching the internet. I don't think we will be able to afford to pay that, plus the court costs and fines that she will be facing. My question is, what will happen now. She was caught on Friday. Does anyone know anything about Ohio law and what will happen and what we should do. I am just sick about this....The Mom.
